Questions

What BPM is Naraka?

210 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Naraka hard to play on drums?

89 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 93 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

210 bars, about 3:51 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 95 exercises over 31 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Naraka?

31 fills to learn, played 60 times: bars 16, 30, 31, 35, 36, 37 and 54 more.
